Rep. Herrera seeks probe on MRT construction site incident

Bagong Henerasyon Party-list Rep. Bernadette Herrera is pushing for a congressional investigation into the collapse of a concrete column at an MRT construction site in Quezon City.

Herrera filed House Resolution No. 2262, calling for the House of Representatives to conduct an inquiry into the incident to establish accountability.

The resolution also aims to assess public safety risks and improve government oversight on national transportation infrastructure projects.

Herrera emphasized that the collapse is a "grave breach of public trust" that endangers the lives of many Filipinos.

The concrete column fell on April 13, causing fear and panic among residents and commuters, and raising concerns about construction quality and safety standards in major government infrastructure projects.
